UK has a taxi driver who blogs in "Adventures of a Taxi Driver". And Singapore has a taxi driver who also blogs (his is "A Singapore Taxi Driver's Diary") and yet his style of writings are more appealing (despite the fact that he has a PhD from Stanford and used to have a research job.)I have every respect possible for any taxi drivers who are honest, capable & committed to …
As if it's not enough to lose another job (billboards featuring Edison Chen were reported on 18/02 to be removed from prominent positions in Causeway Bay, Mong Kok and Hong Kong Station), EC had to face the rumoured threat that the triads had posted a reward of $91,000 for one of his hands. Whether it must be the hand which took the photograph was not mentioned in the news at …
Trying to visit the site, "The Online Citizen" leads me to this page saying that it "has been disabled" (screenshot below). Pity that it doesn't mention any reason why. Sure will love to make fun if it's due to someone forgets to renew the site domain. Hones mistakes do happen. Heh.
The tragic answer is Cathay Cineplexes. Why, oh why???What probably is the movie of the year, and my preferred cinema doesn't show it?Meanwhile I'm trying to console myself by looking at the screenshots of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" from the other 3 major cinemas in Singapore. I think the best one is from Shaw Online. That of Eng Wah looks okay--if not too simple, perhaps. …
And please, don't bring it back, baby!Reading about the trial of Sunshine Empire trio enriching themselves--the infamous three are the firm's founder James Phang Wah, former director Jackie Hoo Choon Cheat and the group sales director who is also Phang's wife Neo Kuon Huay--makes me want to start my own evil empire of Multi Level Marketing.Or at the very least, to pen a …
I'd have sympathised with her 'situation' more if only she's been honest from the very beginning. In the start of the scandal, Cut Tari (as well as Luna Maya) had "denied involvement in the sex tapes, saying the footage was doctored". That's not so. She caved in & confessed her being the star in one of the three videos which also featured the popular singer Ariel Peterpan. …
Pity. It's such a crime that these 2 teenagers ought to leave the world before they fully realize their potential. A humanist, Ashley Montagu once said: "The idea is to die young as late as possible."For the 2 teens, their idea is just to die young. Period. Because the world is ending. Isn't it a gradual, inevitable & natural process anyway! That doesn't justify a suicide …
This sounds like a defamation case if it's not true. What bothers me, though, is Ris Low's nonchalant attitude in this matter. She said she is too lazy to file a lawsuit?! HAS Ris Low gone from joining beauty pageants to providing companionship as a social escort? Last October, The New Paper received a tip-off that the 20-year-old dethroned beauty queen was signed under …
This article, "Blog.con: Fake ads deals a steal" may prove a point that a blogger's credibility (especially that of one Dawn Yang) is sufficient to make others purchase stuff from designerluxurybrands.com which ad was previously featured in Dawn's blog. Or perhaps they're just plain greedy. Afterall the branded items were offered at much lower price. When things …
Remember the incident of a foreign worker was punched in the bus because he’s accused of staring last year? Well, it happens again. This time the victim was Mr. Liu, a China man and he was …
Agnes Kharisma | Source: kaskus That's what Jakarta Globe mentioned. Indonesian police plan to interrogate two foreign nationals--an American national and the other is a Singaporean national--in connection with the rape and killing of a 19-year-old girl, Agnes Kharisma. (In the similar news from Straits Times, however, it stated the 2 foreigners are an American national and …
3 White Tigers, A Cleaner & A Horrified Tourist, who yet kept taking photos of the gruesome incident
Yeah, it's really such a rare photo opportunity. And yeah, I know other Singapore zoo visitors had done their part of screaming (to scare away the tigers)--hey, one even threw an umbrella in to distract the tigers!! So yeah, it's nothing wrong for me to take photos after photos of the bloody incident, is it? After all, I wasn't thinking. Reading Straits Times, "I thought …
First, let me state it upfront: this is NOT a sponsored post by Aramsa Spa. I'm not paid at all nor given a free spa package to pen this article in favour of Aramsa Spa.Allow me to elaborate. Only recently Singapore spa lovers have been hit hard by the news on how a popular (now, the word ought to be 'infamous') spa namely Wellness Village Spa & Fitness had been abruptly …
A trivia: 'C' in 'Jessica C' does not refer to her bra size (Okay, I'm no expert!). 'C' stands for Cambensy. At least according to this Asiaonefinest forum, "Hong Kong model Jessica C strips to celebrate World Cup". Okay, now to the juicy news: Jessica C is reported to allegedly take HK$600 that a (incredibly absent-minded) customer left behind at an ATM. Jessica C also …
While we're still talking about teachers, do you remember Tila Tequila as a hot teacher 'promoting' education about Myanmar in this clip, "Tila Tequila - Hot for Teacher - Myanmar Burma It Can't Wait". She is by the way a Singaporean-born American model, singer, rapper, and television personality. And she has a Wikipedia article about her!
With the culprit is dead, it is going to be hard to find out the reasons behind the stabbing incident. Interesting to note that the student only chose to stab the NTU lecturer just for the purpose of injuring him (?) and later slit his own wrists & decided to escape to death by jumping down a from the building. Mystery...mystery...A lecturer with Nanyang Technological …
Ms Trinetta Chong (or Ms Chong Chiao Sing Trinetta) is an instant star gaining fame with her passionate use of the f-word in a totally inappropriate event--to be precise in an NTU Convocation closing speech! Surprisingly, the STOMP has published an article kind of supporting Ms Chong. The article is titled, "NTU grad uses F-word in speech: Relax lah, why S'poreans so …
